The Ducati 1198 also gets a few electronic updates at the 2010 Intermot show, going head-to-head with Aprilia on the superbike front.
The new Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC special edition was revealed, and following that we see the Ducati 1198SP get the same superbike-technology-on-a-road-bike treatment.
The 1198 now has some electronic racing components from the R version such as DTC traction control, Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) and a quick shift option like that of the Aprilia.
The Ducati 1198SP also gets an Ohlins TTX rear shock absorver, Ohlins at the front, new clutch control and some carbon fibre features.
We also love the aluminium tank like what we’ve seen on the ‘Corsa’ versions.
This Ducati 1198 special edition should replace the 1198S and will be sold at approximately that same price point.
